Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Step shingles are the classic way to flash sidewalls and chimneys on shingle roofs; the 5 in. x 5 in. x 8 in. bend gives enough up-wall and up-roof leg for most laps. Keep each piece lapped over the one below and seal the vertical leg where the wall covering does not counterflash. Choose a larger or heavier-gauge piece for long runs exposed to heavy runoff.
Sheet metal corners are sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and installing step flashing.
